International cricket has witnessed another rare and remarkable record. Isle of Man’s 51-year-old spinner Joanne Hicks has etched her name in the record books by breaking a record that had stood unchallenged for 96 years.
Hicks achieved a five-wicket haul, becoming the oldest bowler—across both men’s and women’s international cricket—to claim five wickets in an international match. Her remarkable performance at the age of 51 has made the achievement even more special.
The historic feat highlights Hicks’ incredible fitness, experience and passion for the game. By surpassing a record that remained untouched for nearly a century, she has created a memorable chapter in international cricket history and inspired players of all ages.
